Long Run Fail

I didn't make it out to run today, which means that I won't get my long run in this week.  This will probably be the first long run I've missed in 2 years.  I'm halfway through eight 12 hour shifts in nine days and tomorrow I switch to nights again so my circadian rhythm is all out of whack.

When I first started running marathons, I was given the (I believe) sage advice that you can miss runs here and there but don't skip the long runs.  That's what gets you in trouble.  So I didn't.  No matter how tired or rainy or late or early, I always squeezed them in.  But today... Today, after sleeping 12 hours I awoke to find myself still exhausted.  I changed into my running clothes to head out for the run, and then changed immediately back into pajamas.

So I'm living life on the wild side.  Being spontaneous.  And I skipped my long run.

What did you do today?
